Lion Sands Ivory
Lodge is ultra luxurious, yet simple and
uncluttered. The lodge is about overriding
exclusivity with complete privacy, where each suite
is operated as a private villa. Neither word nor
photograph can capture the sense of the pure beauty
which is breathed in when opening the carved wooden
doors leading into this private recluse – arguably
the worlds finest suite.
Lion Sands Ivory Lodge was awarded third best hotel
in the world by Tatler Magazine in 2006 and has been
included in their “101 Best Hotels in the World”
2006 & 2007 listings. Ivory Lodge is also a proud
member of Virtuoso, the largest exclusive by
invitation only travel network group in the world.
The public areas at Ivory Lodge offers guests the
following: a private bar with fireplace, a library
lounge , well stocked wine cellar, wooden viewing
decks, a magnificent River Island Deck built on the
river, Lalamuka Health Spa & gymnasium, curio shop &
both an indoor and open-air (Boma) dining area.
Lodge Bedroom
The Lodge comprises
six generously sized privately situated villas, each
with a separate living room, heated swimming pool
and an open plan en-suite bathroom with an enclosure
for the outdoor shower – 6-star luxury in the middle
of the bush. The colour scheme of ebony and ivory is
interpreted in a modern style, while selected
African accessories blend the old world with the new
to create Afro-Euro chic. Breathtaking views of the
Sabie River, which has flowing water all year
around, can be viewed through the oversized windows
of your villa or from your private viewing terrace.
Baby elephants bathing in the river, zebra, gnu and
the large Nile crocodile are the only neighbours you
shall see.

"Lalamuka" means unwind in Shangaan and
that is exactly what it is all about. An array of body and
facial treatments are available to guests to assist in
getting rid of those urban stresses.
Weddings
Where better to celebrate the union of
two soul mates than under an ancient Marula Tree on the
banks of the meandering Sabie River? The exclusive Lion
Sands Private Game Reserve is able to tailor make a wedding
celebration which is completely unique and in true African
custom. The couple will be able to pledge their vows in the
company of close friends, relatives and the African
wilderness.
According to African tradition the local Shangaan Chief will
be there to give his blessing upon the newlywed couple.
After the blessing all will be invited to share in the
wedding feast, prepared and served in the open savannah
under the illuminated Southern Sky. Singing and dancing will
continue long into the night until the morning star has
risen in the east signifying the beginning of their new
journey together.
Honeymoons
A wooden platform has been constructed
high up in the top of an ancient Jackalberry tree. Amongst
the branches, the most romantic bush bedroom is set up to
accommodate a couple for the night, with secure access and
as many of the room comforts as are practically possible.
The guests are driven to the hide after dinner and "settled"
in for the night where after the ranger returns to the lodge
(15 minutes away) leaving the guests in complete privacy to
spend a night under the stars. An absolute must for visitors
who come to Lion Sands!

accommodate up to 40 delegates for a conference or executive
meeting. Kindly contact us for details.
